Occupancy remains a concern, even though the average rate for the September quarter was 86.7%, a 20-basispoint sequential uptick. The company is focusing on promotions to boost occupancy at its Emeritus (acquired in August, 2014) QUARTERLY REVENUES ($ mill.) Full locations.

These NO CASH DIVIDENDS BEING PAID burdens ought to start to pass from here. Systems integration work and training is largely finished, which will allow associa- tes to get back to day-to-day operations. Moreover, revenue synergies should emerge in 2017, as Emeritus properties are renovated and adopt the legacy Brookdale pricing model. In the meantime, investments that are necessary to facilitate increased rates down the road will persist. The company is exploring a variety of capital allocation decisions, transactions, and alternative strategies. The Emeritus integration will be completed regardless of the path the company takes from here. We think BKD will likely begin by selling assets and using the proceeds to deleverage its balance sheet. Most investors should avoid these untimely shares at this juncture. The share price has taken a beating lately, and still might not represent a bottom. Longterm capital gains prospects are above average, but the potential reward comes with substantial risk (Safety: 4).
